Select disk/partitions to backup
4. Specify the paths for the backup archives. To place every archive on its local computer,
input Local path or select Acronis Secure Zone, if there is such a zone on every remote
computer. For more information about Acronis Secure Zone see
. To
place backups on the network, check Network path, select the target folder and specify
the username and password for access to the network drive. When backing up to a backup
server, choose Personal Backup Location or tape drive and enter backup server
administrator’s credentials. For more information about backup servers see
.
You should also provide the archive name for each computer, unless the archives are
targeted to Acronis Secure Zones or a backup server. Pressing the button to the right of the
name input field will assign to each archive the respective computer’s name.
5. Specify the usual backup settings: backup mode (full, incremental or differential), a
password for the backup archive (if necessary), default or custom backup options and
comment. For more information see
Chapter 6. Creating backup archives
.
6. Provide a name for the group task. The name will be displayed in the Group Tasks
Management window (see below) to allow quick task identification.
7. Select when you would like the task to be started. The scheduling procedure is almost the
same for individual and group tasks, see
for details.
8. If, for any reason (traffic limitation, for example), you do not want the task to start on all
computers simultaneously, set Start time shift parameter. The task will start on all
computers in turn, with the time shift you specify. As soon as you select time shift, the
resulting task start time for the first and the last computer will be displayed.
9. Now enter the username and password. It is supposed that accounts with the same
username and password exist on all computers of the group. In this case, the task will be
automatically distributed to the computers. Otherwise, you will be asked for the username
and password for every computer during the task distribution.
10. At the final step, the group task summary is displayed. Up to this point, you can click
Back to make changes in the created task.
